New EP out March 2018. 4 Pieces. Artwork by Timothy O'Donnell.

GNAC played a gig in Moscow on March 21st 2003 - in a club called Settebello. Roger came along to do visuals. Lady Miss Keir from DeeLite was DJ-ing elsewhere the same weekend, and had come over with her friend Pam. We were all being looked after by the same tour people - so we all had a vodka or two together at some point.

A weird part of the GNAC live set happened when all the lights went out and Happy Birthday blasted out through a different set of speakers from the PA and someone came along with a birthday cake with sparklers on it and took it to one of the tables in the club. All this happened Mid-way through a GNAC song in the live set.

Below is one photo from Moscow that Roger took - which is actually a photo of a photo, and text about the gig that was still online - roughly translated into English, and in the original Russian.

Roger Patrick Martin Quigley and Mark Tranmer (aka GNAC) playing a gig on New Year's Day 1998 somewhere in France - Tours or nearby. We had recently started playing live together - and collaborating on new songs - after the release of "An Evening in the Company of the Vespertine" compilation album, which included some of our solo instrumental work. Happy New Year!
